Sleepwalker is a vengeance film and by Nollywood standard, this film is a class act. Too much seriousness went into making this film. It all starts with the lineup of  Nollywood heavyweights like Ramsey Nuoah,

(c) 2015 Every once in a while, among the myriads of discreditable movies Nollywood, pushes onto the market, there comes one that pleases the critical eye.
